MCP server zu VS Code hinzufügen

1Create .vscode/mcp.json in the workspace, or run MCP: Open User Configuration for all workspaces.
2Paste the server under servers (VS Code uses servers, not mcpServers).
3Use inputs with password: true for secrets so they are not stored in the file.
4Open Copilot Chat in Agent mode and pick the server's tools from the tools menu.

Beispiel: Codebase Memory

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "codebase-memory-mcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "codebase-memory-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Workspace, user and Copilot CLI

Workspace configuration can be committed so the team shares the same servers.
The personal Copilot Global configuration is shared across workspaces and with Copilot CLI on the same machine.
Servers can also be added from the Customization Marketplace (preview).
VS Code handles input requests (elicitation) from servers; MCP Apps are experimental.

Read the server's output for start-up errors, and the chat debug view if no tool is called.

VS Code MCP-Fragen

How do I add an MCP server to VS Code?

Run "MCP: Add Server" from the Command Palette, choose HTTP or Command (stdio), and pick workspace or user scope. HostedMCP server pages give the matching config.

Do I need GitHub Copilot?

Yes. MCP servers in VS Code are used by Copilot's chat in agent mode.

Can I share MCP servers with my team?

Yes. A workspace configuration can be committed to source control so everyone gets the same servers.

How do I see if a server works?

Ask Copilot to use it in agent mode and expand the tool call in the chat to see the request and result.
